How to Become a Cannabis Influencer

By: Rachel Garland

Earning a living as a cannabis influencer might have seemed like a fantasy a few years ago.

But that’s no longer the case!

In fact, in an environment where advertising restrictions are rampant, the opportunities for cannabis influencersare enormous. Whether you’re passionate about cannabis and yoga, cannabis and cooking, cannabis and wellness - you can get paid for doing what you love.

For the skeptics out there, this isn’t just a bunch of fluff.

It’s a real thing that’s happening every single day.

I’m speaking from personal experience here.

About two and half years ago I launched Women of Cannabiz. Through this platform and the relationships I’ve built, I’ve now been able to connect with cannabis women worldwide, receive free products, tickets, promotions, along with selling advertising space.

This is just the beginning!

While becoming a cannabis influencer might seem just like it’s all taking dope shots and planning content, there’s much more to this career path than meets the eye.

Whether a platform starts censoring more cannabis content (like we’ve seen happen at this point on just about every social media channel) or users leave a platform over time, you need to have a way to always get in touch with your community.

Hence why it is so important to diversify your reach as much as possible.

#5 Share Meaningful Content

The fifth step you’ll want to take towards becoming a cannabis influencer is sharing meaningful content.

If you’re going to make your mark, you need to bring something to the table.

I recommend doubling down on your strengths:

Are you an awesome photographer?

How about a gifted writer?

Or what about a great video editor?

Whatever “IT” IS - OWN IT.

Then find a way to help others doing it.

You can become influential in whatever field you want. Truly!

Whether you want to be known as the craft cannabis photographer or a cannabis wellness writer, the opportunities are out there.

It is up to you to consistently share valuable content (blogs, videos, graphics, etc.) that will attract your target audience.
